Abstract
THIS clear and concise little work by Dr. C. A. Arraud, assistant in physiotherapy at the Hôtel Dieu, Paris, is divided into two main parts. In the first, which is introductory, the author deals with the historical aspects of surgical diathermy, the various currents employed, and the choice of an apparatus, particularly those of French origin. The second part is concerned with the employment of surgical diathermy in cancer and in disorders of various systems, such as diseases of the skin, gynæcology, urology, diseases of the alimentary system, neurology, respiratory diseases, otorhinolaryngology and ophthalmology.
